Labiaplasty (labia minora reduction) · Izmir, Turkey
Labiaplasty in Turkey, with vaginoplasty and clitoral hood reduction
Labiaplasty reduces or reshapes the inner labia when their size causes rubbing, pain in tight clothing or self-consciousness. It does not tighten the vagina, which is a separate operation called vaginoplasty. At JFS Clinic in Izmir, Turkey, the labiaplasty package is listed from £2,500 and includes one hospital night and four hotel nights.

Am I a candidate?
Who is a good candidate for labiaplasty?
Labia vary widely and almost all are normal. Labiaplasty is for women aged 18 or over whose inner labia cause rubbing, twisting in swimwear, soreness after sex or lasting distress.
Enlarged labia minora, why creams and exercise cannot reduce them
The inner labia are skin folds with no muscle and little fat, so weight loss, pelvic floor exercise and creams do not change their size. They can lengthen with childbirth and age, and one side is sometimes longer from adolescence. Removing the excess surgically is the only way to shorten them.
Signs labiaplasty may suit you
- Inner labia that extend past the outer labia and rub in underwear, leggings or swimwear.
- Soreness during cycling, running or long periods of sitting.
- Discomfort during sex from tissue being pulled inward.
- Clear asymmetry between the two sides that has bothered you for a long time.
- Good general health, no smoking, and a decision that is your own, made without pressure.
| Labiaplasty | Vaginoplasty | |
|---|---|---|
| Area treated | Inner labia, outside the vaginal opening | Vaginal canal, muscle and lining |
| Usual concern | Rubbing, twisting, visible length or asymmetry | A feeling of looseness after childbirth |
| What is changed | Excess labial skin is removed and the edge shaped | Stretched muscle and lining are narrowed |
| Hotel nights in package | 4 | 5 |
| Package price, from | £2,500 | £2,850 |
What to discuss at your labiaplasty consultation
- Which situations cause discomfort, so the plan solves a concrete problem.
- Whether a trim or a wedge technique suits the colour and shape of your labial edge.
- Whether the clitoral hood should be reduced too, for balance.
- Previous gynaecological surgery, recurrent infections, pregnancies, plans for future births and your medicines.
This is general information, not a diagnosis. Your surgeon decides whether surgery is advisable only after examining you in person in Izmir.
Procedures in aesthetic gynaecology
Types of labiaplasty, trim and wedge, and related procedures
Labiaplasty uses one of two main techniques, trim or wedge, and four related procedures sit alongside it. Your surgeon chooses after examining the tissue in person, not from a photo.
- 1Excess inner labia tissue marked
- 2Edge trimmed or wedge removed
- 3Clitoral hood checked for balance
- 4Fine dissolvable stitches along the edge
How labiaplasty is done
| Procedure | Best for | What is done | Main difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trim labiaplastyWidely used | Long labia with a darker or uneven edge | Excess tissue is removed along the outer edge | A new, smoother edge |
| Wedge labiaplasty | Women who want to keep the natural edge colour | A V-shaped section is removed from the middle | Natural edge kept |
| Clitoral hood reduction | Extra folds of skin around the clitoral hood | Excess hood skin is trimmed, often with a labiaplasty | The clitoris itself is not operated on |
| Vaginoplasty (tightening) | Looseness inside the vaginal canal after childbirth | Muscle and lining are narrowed from inside | Internal; one extra hotel night |
| Monsplasty | A full or sagging mons pubis above the pubic bone | Fat and loose skin are reduced or lifted | Often paired with a tummy tuck |
| Hymenoplasty | Explained individually at the consultation | The hymen is reconstructed with fine stitches | The law on it differs between countries |
Gender-affirming vaginoplasty, including peritoneal and sigmoid techniques, is a different operation and is not described on this page.
Labiaplasty wedge vs trim, how your surgeon decides
The decision rests on the edge of the labia. If the rim is darker, thickened or irregular, a trim removes it with the excess length. If the edge looks natural to you and only the length is the problem, a wedge takes a V-shaped section from the middle and keeps the original rim.
Your surgeon also measures how far each labium extends past the outer labia and compares the sides; a difference of a centimetre or two is common and is corrected at the same time. A hood reduction is added only if you both agree it is needed.
Vaginoplasty, clitoral hood reduction, monsplasty and hymenoplasty in Izmir
Vaginoplasty here means vaginal tightening after childbirth, with stretched muscle and lining brought together from inside and one more hotel night than labiaplasty. Monsplasty reduces fullness over the pubic bone by liposuction or a short excision in the bikini line. Hymenoplasty is explained privately at the consultation; the law on it differs between countries, and your coordinator explains what applies before any plan is made.
Our promise to you
This is personal, and you are treated with discretion and respect at every step. Your surgeon explains clearly what is possible for your body, and your coordinator stays with you from your first private message to your final check-up.
How soon
How soon can you have labiaplasty in Turkey?
Most JFS patients have their labiaplasty within about a week of their first message, with six days in Izmir. There is no waiting list; dates are set around your cycle.

Arrive in Izmir
Your six days begin. Blood tests and an in-person examination with your surgeon come before anything is confirmed.
What can delay your labiaplasty date
Travelling within a week is possible, but your surgeon checks a few things first. If the Day 2 examination finds an infection, or a test result needs looking into, surgery is postponed rather than rushed.
| Factor | Why it matters | What usually happens |
|---|---|---|
| Your period | Bleeding makes the wound harder to keep clean | Surgery is planned outside your period |
| Thrush or another infection | It raises the risk of the edge opening | It is treated first and the date moves |
| Smoking or nicotine | Nicotine reduces blood flow to the healing edge | You are asked to stop for several weeks before and after surgery |
| Pregnancy, breastfeeding or a planned birth | Tissue keeps changing around birth | Surgeons usually wait until breastfeeding ends, and vaginoplasty until your family is complete |
| Blood thinners and some supplements | They increase bruising and bleeding | Your surgeon tells you what to pause and when. Never stop prescribed medication without your own doctor's advice |
If you live in the UK, the NHS considers labiaplasty only where there is a clear medical reason, and not under 18, so most women compare private clinics. Wherever you book, ask who examines you before the operation, what happens if the date moves, and how you reach the team after you fly home.

The operation
How labiaplasty is done, step by step
A labiaplasty takes about one to two hours in theatre, longer if a hood reduction or vaginoplasty is added. This is what happens between the anaesthetic and your night in hospital.
The operation takes place in hospital, under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, agreed with you on Day 2. Your surgeon confirms the technique for each side, since the two labia are rarely identical, then marks the new edge with a fine pen. Local anaesthetic is usually injected along the line to reduce bleeding and ease the first hours after you wake.
Inside the operation
Labiaplasty in four steps
- 1New edge markedThe planned line is drawn on each labium before any incision.
- 2Trim or wedge removedExcess tissue comes away along the marked line.
- 3Bleeding controlledSmall vessels are sealed to keep later swelling limited.
- 4Edge closed with dissolvable stitchesFine stitches dissolve on their own over several weeks.
Labiaplasty trim and wedge technique
For a trim, the excess along the rim comes away in one curved piece and the new edge is tapered towards each end. For a wedge, a V-shaped section is cut from the widest part and the two edges are joined. An agreed hood reduction is done at this stage. Small vessels are sealed as the surgeon works, then fine dissolvable stitches close the edges, so nothing needs removing later.
When vaginoplasty is added, it follows the labiaplasty: stretched lining is removed from the back wall of the vagina and the muscles beneath are drawn together with deep stitches. Your anaesthetist monitors you throughout. You wake in the recovery area with a soft pad in place, and most women walk to the bathroom unaided that evening.
Recovery, day by day
Labiaplasty recovery time, week by week
Move the slider to see how most women feel, what they can do and what to avoid, from day one to six months.
Labiaplasty recovery has three stages. In week one, swelling peaks around day three or four; cold packs, loose cotton underwear and rinsing with water after the toilet help most. Between weeks two and six the stitches dissolve and most women are back at work. After six weeks, sex, tampons, swimming and exercise return step by step.
Uneven swelling early on is common. Increasing pain, fever, heavy bleeding or an opening edge means contacting your coordinator straight away.
Day 6
How you'll likely feel
Typical timeline for labiaplasty alone. Recovery after vaginoplasty is longer, and your surgeon gives you a separate plan.
| Activity | Week 1 | Week 2 | Weeks 3–4 | Week 6 | Months 3–6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walking | Short, slow walks indoors | Daily walks outside | Normal walking | No restriction | No restriction |
| Desk work | Rest at the hotel | Most women return | Full days comfortable | No restriction | No restriction |
| Sitting | On a soft cushion, short periods | More comfortable, still with a cushion | Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up | No restriction | No restriction |
| Sex and tampons | Avoid | Avoid | Avoid | Usually cleared, after your surgeon's advice | No restriction |
| Swimming and baths | Showers only | Showers only | Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up | Usually cleared | No restriction |
| Cycling and gym | Avoid | Avoid | Gentle exercise only, no cycling | Gradual return | Normal, as cleared by your surgeon |
Typical timeline for labiaplasty alone. Cells marked "Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up" depend on how your stitches heal.
RecoveryA patient's journey
In their own words
Ellie's helped me all the way through with my surgery. Every time I've messaged her, she's got either her or my assistant as well to come and bring me whatever I've wanted whenever I wanted.
What to expect
Labiaplasty results and how healing settles
Swelling hides the new shape for two to six weeks. By three months most of it has gone, and by six months the edge has usually softened. The stitch line is often hard to find once mature, though scars settle differently in each woman.
Labiaplasty changes the size and shape of the labia; it is not a treatment for sexual problems. Results vary from patient to patient. Your surgeon will tell you what is realistic for your body at the consultation.
Labiaplasty gone wrong, when revision is considered
Some women write after a labiaplasty elsewhere left an uneven edge, a notch or too little tissue. Whether revision is possible depends on the tissue left, so it is usually considered after at least six months, and your surgeon tells you honestly if more surgery is unlikely to help.

Questions
Labiaplasty in Turkey, frequently asked questions
How much does labiaplasty cost in Turkey?
At JFS Clinic, the labiaplasty package is listed from £2,500 (€2,900 / $3,350) and includes the operation, one day in hospital, four hotel nights and transfers. Adding a clitoral hood reduction or vaginoplasty changes the figure.
See all package prices →How soon can I have labiaplasty in Turkey?
Most JFS patients travel within about a week of their first message. Your surgeon confirms the operation only after blood tests and an examination in Izmir, and moves the date if waiting is safer.
From first message to surgery →Is it safe to have labiaplasty in Turkey?
Safety depends on the surgeon, the hospital and the aftercare plan rather than the country. JFS Clinic is licensed for health tourism, and you are operated on in hospital after blood tests. Ask who will operate and how you reach the team once home.
What is the best country for labiaplasty?
No country can honestly claim to be the best for every patient, so compare clinics on standard points: the surgeon's experience with labial surgery, a hospital setting, honest advice on whether you need surgery at all, and support after you fly home. At JFS Clinic you see the surgeon's name before booking. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Merve Biçer completed her obstetrics and gynaecology residency at Izmir Atatürk Training and Research Hospital in 2003, and surgery follows blood tests and an examination in Izmir.
What is the best age for labiaplasty?
Surgery is offered to adults only, at 18 or over, once the labia have finished developing. Many women consider it after childbirth or later in life, once breastfeeding has ended.
What is the difference between labiaplasty and vaginoplasty?
Labiaplasty reduces or reshapes the inner labia. Vaginoplasty, as offered here, narrows muscle and lining inside the vaginal canal after childbirth. Both can be done in one operation when needed.
How painful is labiaplasty recovery?
For the first three or four days most women describe soreness, swelling and stinging when passing urine, eased with pain relief, cold packs and loose clothing. How it feels varies from person to person.
When can I have sex or use tampons after labiaplasty?
Most surgeons ask you to avoid sex, tampons and swimming for around six weeks. Your surgeon confirms the timing at your final check-up in Izmir.
How soon will I see my labiaplasty result?
Swelling settles over about six weeks, and the final shape usually shows between three and six months. Results vary from patient to patient. Your surgeon will tell you what is realistic for your body at the consultation.
